JVM direct memory

JVM direct memory

如果使用Java自带的 ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(size) 或者直接 new DirectByteBuffer(capacity) , 这样受-XX:MaxDirectMemorySize 这个JVM参数的限制. 其实底层都是用的Unsafe#allocateMemory,区别是对大小做了限制. 如果超出限制直接OOM.

Unsafe.allocateMemory

如果通过反射的方式拿到Unsafe的实例,然后用Unsafe的allocateMemory方法分配堆外内存. 确实不受-XX:MaxDirectMemorySize这个JVM参数的限制 . 所以限制的内存大小为操作系统的内存.

// 启动参数： -Xmx20M -XX:MaxDirectMemorySize=10M
public class DirectMemoryOOM {
  private static final int _1MB = 1024 * 1024;

  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    Field unsafeField = Unsafe.class.getDeclaredFields()[0];
    unsafeField.setAccessible(true);
    Unsafe unsafe = (Unsafe) unsafeField.get(null);
    while (true) {
      unsafe.allocateMemory(_1MB);
    }
  }
}

这个代码并不产生异常

ByteBuffer.allocateDirect

如果不设置-XX:MaxDirectMemorySize 默认的话,是跟堆内存大小保持一致. [堆内存大小如果不设置的话,默认为操作系统的 1/4, 所以 DirectMemory的大小限制JVM的Runtime.getRuntime().maxMemory()内存大小

public class DirectMemoryOOM {
    // 分配直接内存大小为 20M
    private static final int size = 1024 * 1024*20;

    // 启动参数： -Xmx20M -XX:MaxDirectMemorySize=10M -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(size);
    }
}
